✦ Synopsis

We determine a general form of the cross-spectral density matrix and the spectral degree of coherence of the electric field of a fully spatially coherent electromagnetic beam. Our result implies that complete spatial coherence does not, in general, impose any conditions on the state of polarization of the beam.

Based on the theory of optical coherence, the spatial coherence properties and directionality of partially coherent cosh-Gaussian (ChG) beams are studied. It is shown that unlike Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams, in the strict sense there do not exist partially coherent ChG beams which may produce

A procedure for the retrieval of both the modulus and phase of the complex degree of spatial coherence of Schellmodel beams is theoretically discussed. It can recover two-dimensional degrees based upon a set of one-dimensional measurements. In order to illustrate this idea, some graphical matter of
